The Elafiti Islands are not far from
Dubrovnik. They consist of Sipan, Lopud,
Kolocep. They offer a perfect sailing area -
idle around, go swimming, snorkle in crystal
clear sea etc. - what could be nicer. They
are small,so everything of importance can be
done by foot. Heavy traffic and people
rushing are not part of the life here (the
infrastructure of the island would not allow
it either). They are forgotten in the tide
of change.
The island Sipan is the greenest among all
the Elafiti islands. The vegetation is rich
in lavender, myrth, mandarines and lemons,
olivetrees, palms but also cypress and
laurel contribute to the island colours.The
Elafiti are forrested and always green. Each
island is a botanical garden

MLJET is thought by many to be the most
beautiful island of the Adriatic. Mljet is
covered by a carpet of ancient forest and is
rich in flora and fauna. There is an
outstanding national park of over 11 square
miles with two lakes, Malo and Veliko. On
the tiny island of St Mary there is a 12th
century Benedictine monastery.
For those who like pleasant walks, the
island is criss-crossed with paths around
the lakes, over the hills, through forests
and along the seashores. Its hot summers,
numerous bathing beaches and fascinating
cultural heritage distinguishes Mljet as an
unspoiled island resort of immense quality.

Mljet Island is one of the many islands on
the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. Named from
the Greek for Honey Island, legend has it

nymph Calypso and St paul is supposed to
have run aground here on his way to Italy.
In the north of the island there is a
national park surrounding two lakes. Explore
the tiny hamlet of Pomena or take a boat to

The town of Korcula (3232 inhabitants) is
the historical, cultural and political
centre and the historical harbour of the
island. It was built on a small peninsula
that limits the passing between the island
and the mainland on only 1270 metres. The
possibility to supervise the navigation of
galleys and sailing-vessels on this spot was
the reason for the formation of the small
town-fortress. It fulfilled this service for
different governors. The town developed
hastily from the 13th century, in the form
it can be seen today. Those were the years
of the origin of the Constitution, the
coming of the governors Zorzi and the
century of Marco Polo.

Lastovo is an offshore island south of
Korcula. Its dense vegetation, the azure sea
with countless islets and reefs, as well as
varied flora and fauna, make this island
really unique.It is famed for its carnival
in which the entire population of the island
enthusiastically take part and provides an
opportunity for visitors to admire the
lovely male and female traditional folk
costumes. The island was closed to
foreigners for 50 years, and will be an
unusual discovery for visitors to this part
of the Adriatic. Lastovo, with its 46 small
islands and their shoals is an eldorado for
followers of big game fishing for yellowtail
and tuna. But with all these attractions, it
is not an exclusive or expensive enterprise,
as local fisherman have been catching these
big trophies for their own food for as long
as can be remembered
